July 24th-27th

On the morning of the 24th, we dropped the kids off at Grammy’s. She took them to the Pioneer Day Parade and had them with her all day. Marisa came to stay with them for the rest of the weekend. Josh and I went to Las Vegas to get away for his birthday.

The first night, we saw The Beatles Cirque du Soleil show – LOVE. It was really good

The next day, we went on the High Roller, I dropped my phone and shattered the screen, we walked and walked and walked

We saw the Cosmopolitan pool fire….

We went to Fogo De Chao for Josh’s birthday dinner. It was sooooo delicious!!!!

Then we went to Mystere. It was cool, of course, but Josh and I were both fighting to stay awake, we admitted to each other later. The truth was pretty hilarious. The next day, we went to the Hoover Dam. It was incredible. Um, all the Hoover Dam pictures are on Josh’s phone.

We didn’t have any big plans this night, so we decided to ride the New York New York roller coaster. It was soooooo lame, especially the hour-long wait for the lame ride.

The next day we spent the afternoon at the pool and then went to Michael Jackson:One. Honestly, this is the only show I wanted to see but I didn’t want to force Josh to spend money on something he didn’t LOVE on his birthday weekend. We heard it was amazing, though, so we went for it on our last night in town. Let me just tell you something, IT WAS THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED!!!!! I LOVED EVERY SECOND!!!!

(Okay, maybe not EVERY second. I was sooo distracted and disgusted by the trannie who was the lead ‘woman’ dancer in “The Way You Make Me Feel” that I just looked down or to the side of the stage. I was so grossed out and also jealous of this person’s dance skills, I just had to look away)
